Sword of Rage and Power 3
Artifact-equipment (Mythic)
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from red and from black.
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, you may cast an instant or sorcery card from your graveyard without paying it’s mana cost and that player sacrifices two creatures.
Whenever equipped creature becomes the target of a spell or ability, destroy target creature you control.
Judging these based on how crazy they are, and how much originality is contained.
Chaos bauble
I do so enjoy chaos, and this is quite good at that. The only problem I see is that the drawback seems to good for your opponent.
8/10

Hex soul golem
Seems like a sideboard card, and the design is very good. I don’t think this is the first time we’ve seen a temporary exile effect though.
8/10
Graffd02
Bauble of mystery
Seems very fun, but and it does have originality. Only problem is that it’s broken in half.
7/10
Stille_Nacht
Circle of life
This seems like so much fun to play with, and so much originality too! You would have won easily if it wasn’t for the slightly awkward wording with [sym:x].
Subject16
Sword of silence and secrets
I love the original swords cycle, and this is very balanced. The whole design is perfect. It lacks slightly in originality though.
9.5/10

Vertrev’s metamage
Very balanced design, very good card. It has originality and fun in it. However, it feels like it does too much for an uncommon, and feels like it should be a blue colored artifact.
9/10
Winner is subject16, with HM to stille_nacht.
Next, ally colored swords.
So, first time trying this, and I still don’t know how to make the mana symbols work, but here goes.
Sunscorch R R R
instant (rare)
Choose a number. Sunscorch deals damage equal to the chosen number to up to three target creatures. Sunscorch deals damage to you equal to half the chosen number. Sacrifice a land.
I run a very similar list on arena, and those matches where you have multiple cruel celebrants, but no way to sac your dudes for the win? Bontu has got you covered. It’s a 3 of in my deck, and I don’t feel like I’m losing consistency with it. Bontu May be the worst of the god cycle, but in this deck, it’s the best.
Looks like a pretty good card. As previously stated, it avoids removal very well. This might not be a thing in standard, but I love it as an interesting commander.
I think the Serra Planeswalker is really good, even if I’m biased because I’ve been waiting for a Serra Planeswalker card since Lorwyn. We still need an Urza though. (Unstable Urza doesn’t count.)
